The Nikon lens is excellent - until I whacked it on a wall about 6 months ago, my 2 megapixel Coolpix 775 was taking superb pictures - quite as good as the 6megapixel fuji I got my dad for his birthday. This is well hot - thanks for the tip.

"The bottom line - Nikon has created a very nice 6-megapixel entry-level model. It's compact, offers great image quality, good performance (the best in series thus far), as well as plenty of useful exposure settings to help you capture great photos. With an MSRP of US$149 or less, I feel the Nikon Coolpix L11 offers an outstanding value for a camera in this category; just be sure you get a set if NiMH batteries and a large SD card right away!"

Bought a few Coolpix cameras and can definiteyl recommend them, especially for Macro shots! Voted Hot!
